The artificial coal bed may be illuminated by concealed bulbs
as and when required. The light effect is operated by a
switch situated below the control knob. It may be used
whether the fire is ON or OFF.

NOTICE

DISCOLOURATION OF WALL SURFACES
Most heating appliances generate warm air convection

currents and transfer heat to any wall surface against
which they are situated.

Some soft furnishings (such as blown vinyl wallpapers)
may not be suitable for use where they are subject to
temperatures above normal room levels and the
manufacturer’s advice should be sought before using
this type of wall covering adjacent to any heating
appliance.

The likelihood of wall staining from convected air
currents will be increased in environments where high
levels of cigarette smoke or other contaminants exist.

WARNING

The addition of anything that may interfere with the
normal operation of the appliance (e.g. FLUE DAMPERS,
ECONOMISERS etc.) without the express written
permission of BAXI LIMITED could invalidate the
appliance warranty and infringe the GAS SAFETY
(Installation and Use) REGULATIONS.

The fire is manufactured to British Standards 5258 Part 5
and 6332 Part 2.

NOTE: Where the closure plate is more than adequate
to cover the fireplace opening and to prevent the sealing
tape from becoming visible, it is advisable to trim the
closure plate as follows:

Cut 32mm (1¼in) off the top of the closure plate (i.e.
through the centre line of the top two fixing holes) and
then trim the top corners at an angle of 45° to a depth of
25mm (1in). If necessary, cut a hole in the closure plate
for the gas supply pipe.

Seal all edges of the closure plate with a suitable tape. DO
NOT COVER THE AIR RELIEF OPENING IN ANY WAY. If
the closure plate has been cut for the gas supply pipe, seal
around this opening too.

Hold a lighted taper or match to the spigot hole in the closure
plate. If the flame is pulled into the opening, proceed with the
installation. If the flame is NOT pulled into the opening, pre­heat the chimney for a few minutes then re-check for flue
pull. If there is still no definite flow into the spigot opening,
the chimney may need attention. DO NOT CONTINUE WITH
THE INSTALLATION - SEEK EXPERT ASSISTANCE.

Take the backing plate from the fittings pack and secure to
the fire using the two N° 8 x 5/8in self tapping screws
provided.
